2 The Main Views The Main Views are those indicated by 5 icons at the bottom of the screen when you first launch NetPortal. The Favorites, Recents and Machines views list Servers or Workstations that are known. Machine This view lists every machine that you have added, in alphabetic order by display name. Favorites This view lists your favorite machines selected from the Machines view, ordered any way you choose. Recents This view shows a history of machines you have connected to, with the most recent shown first. Bookmarks This view shows Bookmarks, which are links to folders or documents that you have previously browsed to and created Bookmarks for. Config This page allows you to configure NetPortal s global settings. Page 2 of 15

3 Machines This view lists all machines known to NetPortal, listed alphabetically. Each entry shows the display name, and the connection status of that machine. A blue question mark icon indicates that the machine is not connected. To connect to a machine, simply tap it. A connection icon will animate whilst the machine is being contacted, and will change to a server icon once connected and authenticated. The diagram below points out the main features of the Machines View. Tap to add a new machine. Tap to enter Edit mode, to change machine properties or to delete a machine. Tap to browse files that have been copied to your iphone. Connected. Tap to start browsing this machine. The 3 views of machines Touch Index for rapid scrolling. Page 3 of 15

4 Adding a Machine The first thing to do in NetPortal is to add a Machine. Tap the + icon in the top right corner, and the page shown below will appear. Display name can be any text you like. Enter Computer name (NetBios or DNS), or an IP4 address. If you enter a DNS name, donʼt enter the DNS suffix here. If the machine is in a DNS domain, enter the DNS suffix here (mycompany.com, for example). Choose whether you want this machine to connect automatically every time you run NetPortal. Blank will use an empty username. On demand will prompt on each connection. Click Edit... to enter a username. Username: There can be some confusion over the format of the Username, as this can vary from one Windows application to another. If the machine is in a Windows Domain, prefix the Username field with the Windows name of the domain, followed by a backslash. Use the same domain name that you would normally use to log on Page 4 of 15

5 to this machine. For example, if the domain is company, and your user name is fred, enter company\fred as your Username. If the machine is in a Workgroup, just enter the Username. Do not prefix with the Machine name or Workgroup name. Mac Machine Name: You can find your Mac s machine name in System Preferences- >Internet & Network->Sharing. Tap the Edit... button to view the network name of your Mac. This will usually be something like Freds-iMac.local. E n t e r Freds-iMac in the Name field and enter local (without the leading dot) in the DNS Domain suffix field. Page 5 of 15

6 Browsing a Machine Once a machine is connected, tapping on it will enumerate its network shares. On some Linux machines, if you do not have sufficient rights to enumerate shares, but you know the Share name, you can add the Share manually by tapping the + button on the Shares screen and entering the name. The diagram below shows the Shares of a connected machine. Tap to eject this machine and go back to the previous machine view. Tap to start browsing this Share. Tap to bring up the Bookmarks page. Tap to refresh the Shares on this machine. Tap to disconnect from the server. Page 6 of 15

7 Browsing Folders Tapping on a Share name connects to that share and enumerates its folders and files. Tapping a folder in this view navigates into it in a hierarchical manner. From this page, you can view files, add a Bookmark to this Folder, refresh this folder, and do other things as outlined below. The diagram below shows the files within a folder on a network Share. You can sort this view in a variety of ways, to help you get to the file you want quickly. Tap this to go back up to the parent folder, or Share list. Tap to view this file. Tap to bring up the Action Menu, to Rename, , or Copy this file, without having to open it. Page 7 of 15

8 Tap to bring up the Action Menu. Tap to go to an existing Bookmark. Tap to add a Bookmark for this folder. Tap to refresh this folder. Tap to go directly to the Shares view of this machine. A file can be deleted by swiping across an entry and tapping the Delete button (unless Delete files and folders is disabled in the Config tab). Page 8 of 15

9 Viewing a Document Tapping on a file listed in a folder will read that file from the server and then open it. From this page, you can copy the file to a local folder on your iphone for later viewing, it as an attachment, or Bookmark it for rapid navigation to this file next time. The diagram below shows a document being viewed with menu bars displayed. Tap this to go back up to the parent folder. Tap the document to toggle the menu bars on/off, allowing the maximum amount of screen to be used for viewing. Rotate your iphone for Landscape or Portrait viewing. Action Menu Show Bookmark List Add Bookmark Go To Start Page Up/Down Go To End Page 9 of 15

10 Invoking the Action Menu from the Folder Browser Whilst browsing a folder, tapping the Action Menu icon will bring up the menu, shown below, from where you can open the file, rename it, it as an attachment, or copy the file to a folder on your iphone. When copying a file to a folder on your iphone, the files are secure because they can only be accessed by NetPortal. No other application can access them. Tapping this will invoke the built-in App and will automatically use this file as an attachment. Simply choose the recipients from your Contacts and add a message. Quick Copy This menu items only appears when tapping the Action Menu icon. It will copy the file being viewed to NetPortalʼs My Local Files folder on your iphone, but it will not navigate you away from the current folder. You can later move the file to another folder, if you wish. Copy file to local folder Tapping this will remember the location of this file and will automatically navigate you to the My Local Files entry in the Machine list. You can then navigate to the local folder, or create a new folder, where you wish to paste this file. Page 10 of 15

11 Bookmarks Bookmarks are an important feature in NetPortal. They allow you to store links to anywhere NetPortal can browse to, and with a single tap, connect to the machine, connect to the share, navigate through the folders, open a file, and scroll to exactly where you left it. You can create Bookmarks to folders and files on remote machines, or to folders and files stored on your iphone. Creating a Bookmark When viewing a file, tapping the plus icon will pop up a window asking for the name of the new bookmark. This defaults to the name of the file, but can be anything you wish. Accessing bookmarks The list of Bookmarks can be accessed from almost every view, allowing you to quickly navigate to the places or files you use the most. The bookmark icon is available on the Main view, on each folder view, and the document view. Tapping it will bring up the list of Bookmarks, and this screen is explained in detail on the next page. Page 11 of 15

12 Bookmark List The Bookmark list shows every Bookmark, whether the destination is to a remote machine or the local iphone. Simply tap a Bookmark and the machine will be connected to, and navigated to the appropriate folder, and if the Bookmark is to a file, will open the file and scroll to the relevant position. Deleting bookmarks Bookmarks can be deleted by either entering Edit mode by tapping the Edit button, or by swiping right to left across the right-hand side of the Bookmark row. Variety of sort modes Bookmark to a folder Bookmark to a file Page 12 of 15

13 Sorting Bookmarks Bookmarks can be sorted in 3 predefined ways, as well as being user-defined. Bookmark sort options Sorted Alphabetically by name Manually sorting Bookmarks Page 13 of 15

14 Config This view is where you set NetPortal s global configuration options. Each new machine will use this Username when initially created. Each new machine will use this Password when initially created. Each new machine will use this DNS suffix when initially created. Typically set this to be the DNS domain name of your company. Not showing Hidden and System files can make browsing Mac and Linux folders much less cluttered. These 3 options control the level by which NetPortal is allowed to modify remote files and folders. Disabling them can prevent accidental modifications or deletions. Page 14 of 15

15 Switch this on to automatically remember the last folder or file being viewed, and navigate back to it on startup. The total amount of space that local files are taking up on your iphone. Tap this button to remove all temporary files that are used internally by NetPortal. No files that you have copied to your iphone will be deleted. Page 15 of 15
